HI from Mesa AZ

I have lived in Mesa most of my days since I was married in 1977. I joined the Church in the Declaration of Independence Bicentennial year of 1976 while in the Army at Ft Ord California. I developed a more real Patriotism during the 3 years of service as a Field Medic. I do not remember reading the US Constitution or Declaration of Independence until aboout ten years later, Evan Mecham challenged an audience in Mesa to read and know these documents. I had sworn to defend them and had never read but was told what to believe about them by superior officers. That night at home I listened to the news reports mis represent and mis quote Brother Mechams speech. I determined that the challenge was the most important thing I had heard that night and I started supporting Evan Mecham and Freedom that night.

I met Earl Taylor Sr, Earl TaylorJr, Louis Stradling Glenn Kimber and Cleon Skousen as the most qualified experts on this and other topics my home schooling family could use. We learned and 3 of my 4 children attended Heritage Academy not 1 mile from my home. From 1997 to 2005 I was the building maintenance / custodian there and have often had a web site to proclaim things of interest and import to me. To make this introduction end I refer you to my website and blog included in my current email signature...
